PREFACE. 



This work is intended as a Sequel to the Spelling-Book 
in which all the words contained in that book, or in com- 
mon use, are spelled, pronounced, divided, accented, and 
defined in such a manner as to be within the comprehen- 
sion and capacity of any child who has made considerable 

. « ss m spelling. 

7 ery evident that one of the first objects of an early 
L m should be to teach a child the definition of words 
t as he has learned their orthography and pronun- 
.> in spelling columns. It is, no doubt, exceedingly 
^ious to teach a young child the definition of a word at 
me time that he is learning its orthography and pro- 
bation, as is often practised ; for, in endeavouring to 
the former he will, most assuredly, neglect the latter, 
mpossible for the mind of the child to be occupied 
joth at once : as well might the teacher, while the 
is learning the alphabet, attempt to teach him all the 
of each letter of which the alphabet is composed, 
ad of first teaching him each character, and then its 
i in forming words ; hence the importance and propriety 
ui iirst teaching a child the orthography and pronunciation 
of the words in a spelling column ; and, then the definition 
of the words should be learned by him as a separate task. 

The orthography of a great many words in our language 
is so variable that it cannot be learned except by a frequent 
repetition of the letters by the scholar, until the association 
of the letters composing each word is thoroughly impressed 
on his mind ; for, it is very obvious, that when a person 
who knows the orthography, pronunciation, and definition 
of a word, is engaged in writing, he does not for a moment 
reflect what the orthography of the word is, but writes it as 
the ^association of the letters which compose it was im- 
prewecLjp 1 his mind in early life, whether right or wrong. 



4 PREFACE. 

Thus the difference between the one who has "been thor- 
oughly taught the orthography of words in early life, and 
one who has not. The former spells a word readily from 
a knowledge of the association of the letters composing it, 
while the latter, who may well understand the pronunciation 
and definition of the word, but not having had the associa- 
tion of the letters in its orthography impressed on his mind 
when young, will spell it in accordance with the analogy 
of some other word, the orthography of which he does 
know. 

It is, therefore, believed, that a work like the one now 
offered, which contains all the words in the Spelling-Book, 
or those in common use, properly defined, will be advan- 
tageous to the youth of our country, being, as it is, an easy 
introduction to the dictionary which contains a greater 
number of words with more copious definitions, and is, 
consequently, not as well adapted to the use of a child as 
a smaller and cheaper work. 

Believing that the division of words is of great utility in 
the attainment of a correct pronunciation, each word has 
been systematically divided. 

Although all of our Lexicographers have written largely 
upon the importance, use, and necessity of the Secondary 
Accent, yet no one of them has given a character to direct 
us in its "application. To remedy this obvious deficiency, 
a character has been introduced into this work. 

Being conscious of having compiled the following work 
for the benefit of the rising generation, the Author submits 
it to an enlightened community without attempting to offer 
anv apology for its publication.

CONCISE PRINCIPLES 
OF 

PRONUNCIATION. 



THE First Principles or Elements of Pronunciation are Letters. The 
Letters of the English Language are : a, b, c, d, e, f g } h, i, j, k, I, m, n, o } 
p> q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z. 

To these may be added certain combinations of letters sometimes used in 
printing; as, JF, fi, /I, jfi, ffl. 

Definition of Vowels and Consonants. 
Vowels are generally reckoned to be five in number ; namely, a, e, i, o, u ; 
W is a vowel when it is preceded by a, e, or o in the same syllable ; Y is a 
Vowel when it is in the middle or at the end of a syllable, and sometimes at 
Ike beginning of a syllable, as in parox-ysm. "FT is a consonant at the begin- 
ning of a word or syllable, or when it is preceded by d, s, t, or th, as in well, 
tbwell, swing, <fec. Y is always a consonant at the beginning of a word. 

The definition of a vowel, as little liable to exception as any, seems to be 
the following: A vowel is a simple sound formed by a continued effusion of 
tke breath, and a certain confoi'mation of the mouth, without any alteration 
in the position, or any motion of the organs of speech, from the moment the 
vocal sound commences till it ends. 

A consonant may be defined to be, an interruption of the effusion of vocal 
*«und, arising from the application of the organs of speech to each other. 
Classification of Vowels and Consonants. 
Vowels and consonants being thus defined, it will be necessary, in the next 
place, to arrange them into such classes as their similitudes and specifick 
differences seem to require. 

Letters, therefore, are naturally divisible into vowels and consonants. 
The vowels are, a, e, i, o, u, and w and y when ending a syllable. 
The consonants are, b, c, d, f g, h, j, k, I, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v } x, z, and 
tt> when beginning a syllable, and y generally. 
There are two kinds of diphthongs', — proper and improper. 
A proper diphthong is that in which both the vowels are sounded, as oi in toil. 
An improper diphthong is that in which but one of the vowels is sounded, 
as ai in jail. 

Consonants enumerated and distinguished into Classes. 
The consonants are divisible into mutes, semivowels, and liquids. 
The mutes are such as emit no sound without a vowel, as b, p, t, d } k, and 
c and g hard. 

The semivowels are such as emit a sound without die concurrence of a 
vowel, as f, v, s, z, x, g soft or j. 
The liquids are such as flow into, or unite easily with the mutes, as I, m, n, r. 
But, besides these, there is another classification of the consonants, of great 
importance to a just idea of the nature of the letters and that is, into such as 
are sharp or flat, and simple or aspirated. 
The sharp consonants are, p, f t, s, k, c hard. 
The flat consonants are, b, v, d, z, g; hard. 

The simple consonants are those which have always the sound of one letter 
mmixed with others, as b, p, f v, £, g hard, and g soft orj. 

The mixed or aspirated consonants are those which have sometimes a hiss 
>r aspiration joined with them, which mingles with the letter, and alters ita 
oufid as t in motion, d in soldier, s in mission, and z in azure. 

l* 



6 CONCISE PRINCIPLES 

There is another distinction of consonants, arising either from the seat of 
their formation, or from those organs which are chiefly employed in forming 
them. The best distinction of this kind seems to be that which divides them 
into labials, dentals, gutturals, and nasals. 

The labials are, b, p, f v. The dentals are, t, d, s, z, and soft g or j. The 
gutturals are, k, q, c hard, and g hard. The nasals are, m, n, and ng. 

Vowels and consonants being thus defined and arranged, we are the better 
enabled to enter upon an inquiry into their different powers, as they are differ- 
ently combined with each other. 

Of the Influence of Accent on the sounds of the Letters. 

It may be first observed, that the exertion of the organs of speech, necessary 
to produce the accent or stress, has an obvious tendency to preserve the letters 
in their pure and uniform sound, while the relaxation or feebleness which 
succeeds the accent, as naturally suffers the letters to slide into a somewhat 
different sound, a little easier to the organs of pronunciation. Thus, the first 
a in cabbage is pronounced distinctly with the true sound of that letter, while 
the second a goes into the obscure sound of i short, the most slender of all 
sounds; so that cabbage and village have the a in the last syllable scarcely 
distinguishable from the e and i in the last syllables of college and vestige* 

In the same manner the a, e, i, o, and y, coming before r in a final unac- 
cented syllable, go into an obscure sound, so nearly approaching to the short 
u, that if the accent were carefully kept upon the first syllables of liar, liet s 
elixir, mayor, martyr, &c. these words, without any perceptible change in 
the sound of their last syllables, might all be Written and pronounced lieur, 
lieur, elixur, mayur, martur. &c. 

The consonants also are no less altered in their sound by the position of the 
accent than the vowels. The k and s in the composition of x, when the accent 
is on them, in exercise, execute, &c. preserve their strong pure sound ; but 
when the accent is on the second syllable, in exact, exonerate, <fcc. these 
letters slide into the duller and weaker sounds of g and z, which are easier to 
the organs of pronunciation. Hence not only the soft c and the s go into sh, 
but even the t, before a diphthong, slides into the same letters, when the stress 
is on the preceding syllable. Thus, in society and satiety the c and / preserve 
their pure sound, because the syllables ci and ti have the accent on them; but 
in social and satiate these syllables come after the stress, and from the feeble- 
ness of their situation naturally fall into the shorter and easier sound, as if 
written soshal and sasheate. 

OF THE VOWELS. 

Of the Quantity and Quality of the Vowels. 
The first distinction of sound that seems to obtrude itself upon us when we 
utter the vowels, is a long and a short sound, according to the greater or less i 
duration of time taken up in pronouncing them. This distinction is so obvious 
as to have been adopted in all languages, and is that to which we annex clearer 
ideas than to any other ; and though "the short sounds of some vowels have not J 
in our language been classed, with sufficient accuracy, with their parent long I 
ones, yet this has bred but little confusion, as vowels long and short are always I 
sufficiently distinguishable; and the nice appropriation of short sounds to their I 
specifick long ones is not necessary to our conveying what sound we mean, I 
when the letter to which we apply these sounds is known, and its power I 
agreed upon. 

A. — A has a long sound, as in lame ; the flat, Italian sound, as mfar; thel 
broad, German sound, as in fall ; the short sound of the Italian a, as in fat ;\ 
the short sound of broad a, as in wasp. 

Irregular and unaccented sounds. 

It is pronounced like e short in any and many; like i short in the unac-l

tented termination age, generally ; and sometimes like u short in the unac- 
cented termination ar. 

E. — E has a long sound, as in mete ; a short sound, as in met. 
Irregular and unaccented sounds. 

It is pronounced like u short in her and hers, and in the unaccented termina- 
tion er ; like a long in ere, there, tete, and where; like i short in England, 
pretty, and yes, and in the unaccented terminations es, et, and en, generally, 
as faces, velvet, linen, &c. 

I. — / has a long sound, as in pine ; a short sound, as in pin. 
Irregular and unaccented sounds. 

It is pronounced like u short in many words when followed by r, as in bird, 
third, &c. ; like c short also in many words when followed by r, as in birth, 
virtue, &c..; like e long in many words, as in profile; like long weak e, 
generally, when it ends an unaccented syllable, as in di-rect. 

Q.— O has a long sound, as in tone ; a long slender close sound, as in move; 
& long broad sound, as in nor;a. short broad sound, as in not ; the short sound 
«f the slender o, as in wolf. 

Irregular and unaccented sounds. 

It is pronounced like u short, as in come, son, &c. and generally in the 
Numerous terminations ock, od, ol, om, on, op, or, ot, and some, &c. 

U.— U has a long sound, as in tune; a short sound, as in tub; a middle 
<yc obtuse sound, or the short sound of long slender o, as in full, pull, &c. J 
the sound of long slender o when preceded by r, as in crude, rude, &c. 
Irregular and unaccented sounds. 

It is pronounced like e short in bury, burial, &c. ; like i short in busy, 
■business, &c. 

W. — W when a vowel has the same sound that u would have in the same 
situation, as in now, pronounced nou* 

Y. — Y has the sound of i long,, as in tyrant; the sound of i short, as in 
system. 

Irregular and unaccented sounds. 

It is pronounced like long weak e, generally, when it ends an unaccented 
syllable, as in hypocrisy ; when preceded by / it should be pronounced like 
i long, as in notify, and in the words multiply, occupy, and prophesy. 

OF THE CONSONANTS. 

B. — B has always, when sounded, its labial sound, as in bad. It is silent 
when it follows m in the same syllable, as in lamb, dumb, &c, except in 
<iccumb, rhomb, and succumb ; it is also silent before t in the same syllable, 
as in doubt, redoubt, <fec. 

C. — C is sounded hard like k at the end of a syllable, and before a, o, u, k, 
I, r, and t, as in flac-cid, car, core, cut, publick, close, crash, tract; like s 
before e, i, and y, as in lace, cider, mercy ; the sound of sh when followed 
by ea, ia, ie, io, or eou, and is preceded by the accent, either primary or sec- 
ondary, as in ocean, social, species, spacious, pronunciation, saponaceous ; 
like z in discern, sacrifice, sice, suffice. It is silent in arbuscle, corpuscle, 
czar, czarina, endict, muscle, victuals. 

CH. — Ch has the sound of tsh in words purely English, as in chin, char, 
&c. ; like sh when preceded by the liquids I or n, as in milch, bench, <kc, and 
in words from the French, as in chagrin, &c. ; like k in words from the 
learned languages, as in chaos, chasm, &c. It is silent in drachm, schism, 
and yacht. 

1). — D has generally its dental sound, as in drum; it is pronounced like dj 
or j when followed by long u preceded by the accent, as in ed-ucate, ver- 
du^—ed-jucate, ver-jure : it is also sounded likej in grandeur and soldier. 



8 CONCISE PRINCIPLES 

Words which end in ed, immediately preceded by d or t, have ea sounded 
distinctly, as in bounded, pointed ; and likewise, when another syllable id 
added to the word, ed should be sounded distinctly, whether it be preceded by 
d, t, or not, as in blessedness, designedly, deservedly, &c. When words 
which end in ed are used as nouns or adjectives, the termination ed should 
sometimes be sounded distinctly, as in the following : A learned man; The 
learned ; Blessed are they ; The wicked people ; The wretched man, &c» 
When the termination ed is immediately preceded by a vowel, or b, g, I, m, 
n, r, flat th, v, z, or s, if it be sounded like z, the e is suppressed, and the d 
is added to the foregoing syllable, as in delayed, defied, showed, sued, rub- 
bed, lugged, rolled, aimed, rained, poured, breathed, saved, blazed, raised, 
pronounced delayed, defi'd, showed, su'd, rubb'd, lugged, rolVd, aim'd, 
rain'd, poured, breath'd, sav'd, blaz'd, raiz'd. When the termination ed 
is immediately preceded by c, f, k, p, s, x, ch, sh, or qu, the e is suppressed, 
and the d is changed into t, as in the following, faced, stuffed, cracked, 
tripped, passed, Vexed, vouched, flashed, piqued, pronounced faste, stuft, 
crackt, tript, past, vekst, voucht, flasht, peekt. 

It is silent in handkerchief, handsel, handsome, and in the first syllable of 
stadtholder and Wednesday. 

F. — F* has its pure labial sound, in all words, except of, in which it is pro- 
nounced like v, as ov ; but when of is joined to the words here, there, 
where, the f retains its pure sound, as hereof, thereof, whereof. 

G. — G has its hard guttural sound before a, o, u, I, and r, as in gale, gone, 
gun, glide, grate, and before e and i in words from the Saxon, as in gear, 
get, &C. ; a soft sound like j, generally, before e, i, and y, as in gelly, giant, 
gyre. It is silent before m or n in the same syllable, as in phlegm, gnat, 
sign, and before I in intaglio and seraglio. 

Gil. — Gh is pronounced like/ in many words, as in laugh, cough; it is 
pronounced like k in hough, lough, shough. The h is always silent at the 
beginning of words, as in ghost, and frequently at the end of words, as in 
burgh; g and h are both sometimes silent at the end of a word, as in nigh, 
and always in ght, as in night, except in draught, in which it is pronounced 
like /. 

H.— H is no more than breathing forcibly before the succeeding vowel is 
pronounced. At the beginning of words, it is always sounded, except in heir, 
heiress, herb, herbage, honest, honesty, honour, honourable, hospital, host- 
ler, hour, humble, humour, humorous, humorsome. It is always silent after 
r, as in rhomb, and at the end of a word preceded by a vowel, as in ah, oh. 

Jt-^-J is pronounced like soft g, and is perfectly uniform in its sound, except 
in hallelujah, where it sounds like y. 

K. — K has always its hard guttural sound like hard c. It is silent before n 
in the same syllable, as in knee. 

T^=» It has been a custom with many to omit the k at the end of words 
when preceded by c. This has introduced a novelty into the language, which 
is that of ending a word with an unusual letter, and is not only a blemish in 
the face of it, but produces irregularity in formatives; fox frolicking, frol- 
icked, mimicking, trafficking, <fec. &c. must be written with the k, though 
to frolick, &c. without it. 

L. — L always has its pure liquid pound, as in lame. It is frequently silent 
before f, k, m, and v, as in calf, talk, calm, calve, and before d in could, 
should, and would. 

M..—M always has its pure nasal sound, as in man, except in comptroller, 
where it sounds like n. 

N.—iV has its simple pure nasal sound generally, as in net ; a compounded 
and mixed sound when followed by k or its representatives c hard, q, or x, in 
an accented syllable, as in bank, distinct, banquet, anxious, pronounced 



OF PRONUNCIATION. 9 

bangk, distingkt, bangkkwet, angkshus. It is silent at the end of a word 
when preceded by I or m, as in kiln, hymn. 

NG. — Ng has its sharp nasal sound generally, as in sing ; it is sounded like 
nj when followed by e at the end of a word or syllable, as in arrange, ar- 
rangement ; in some words it is pronounced as if the g were double, as in 
angle, — anggl. 

P. — P always has its pure labial sound, as in pane, except in clapboard 
and cupboard, where it has the sound of b. It is silent before n, between m 
and t, and before s and t, at the beginning of words, as in pneumaticks, 
ptisan, tempt, psalm, and in corps, raspberry, receipt. 

PH. — Ph is sounded like /, as in prophet, except in nephew and Stephen, 
it is pronounced like v. In diphthong and triphthong the first A is silent ; the 
p and h are both silent in phthisick and phthisical. 

Q.. — Q has the sound of k, and is always followed by u, as in queen. 

R. — R has a rough sound when it begins a word or an accented syllable, as 
in riot, direct, and a smooth sound in all other cases, as in bard, carry. It 
is never silent, but its sound is sometimes transposed, as in the unaccented 
termination re, in fibre, theatre, &c. where the r is sounded after the e; its 
sound is also transposed in apron, iron, saffron. 

S. — & has its sharp hissing dental sound at the beginning of word's, and 
when it follows the sharp consonants, f, k, p, t, as in soon, scoffs, blocks, lips, 
Jits, strifes, flakes, &c. ; a flat sound like z in many words, as in has, was, 
&c, or when it follows the flat consonants or liquids, as in clubs, lads, bags, 
saves, calls, rims, means, &c., also when it forms an additional syllable 
with e before it, in the plurals of nouns, and the third person singular of verbs, 
even though the singulars and first persons end in sharp hissing sounds, as in 
classes, riches, cages, boxes, &c. ; the sound of sh when preceded by the 
accent and another s or a liquid, and followed by ia, ie, io, or long u, as in 
cassia, transient, expulsion, version, censure, pressure, &c, and inswre, 
sugar, and their compounds ; the sound of zh when preceded by the accent 
and a vowel, and followed by ia, ie, io, or long u, as in ambrosial, Asia, 
enthusiasm, brasier, fusion, usual, &c. & in the inseparable preposition 
dis, when either the primary or secondary accent is on it, is always pronoun- 
ced sharp and hissing ; the word dismal, which seems to be an exception, is 
not so in reality ; for, in this word, dis is not a preposition : thus dissolute, 
dissonant, &c, with the primary accent on dis ; and disability, disagree, 
&c. with the secondary accent on the same letters, have the s sharp and his- 
sing ; but when the accent is on the second syllable, the s is either sharp or 
flat, as it is followed either by a vowel, or a sharp or flat consonant; thus dis- 
able, disaster, disease, disinterested, disown, disorder, have all of them 
the s in dis flat like z, because the accent is not on it, and a vowel begins the 
next syllable ; but discredit, disfavour, diskindness, dispense, distaste, 
have the s sharp and hissing, because a sharp consonant begins the succeeding 
accented syllable ; and disband, disdain, disgrace, disjoin, dislike, dis- 
miss, disrobe, disvalue, have the s flat like z, because they are succeeded by 
a flat consonant or liquid in the same situation. It is silent in aisle, corps, 
demesne, isle, island, puisne, viscount. 

SC. — Sc has the sound of s before e, i, and y ; the sound of sk before a, o, 
u, and r; the sound of sh when followed by ie or io and the accent precedes, 
as in conscience, conscious. 

T. — T has its pure dental sound generally, as in time ; the sound of sh 
when followed by ia, ie, or io, and is preceded by the accent, either primary 
or secondary, as in nuptial, patient, faction, negotiation, &c. ; the sound 
of tsh when followed by long u preceded by the accent, as in nature, pro- 
nounced na-tshure, and when it is followed by ia or io, preceded by the ac- 
cent and s or x, as in fustian, mixtion. It is silent when preceded by s and 
followed by le or en, as in bustle, chasten, pronounced bus-sl, chase sn, &c, 



10 CONCISE PRINCIPLES 

except in pestle, where it is sounded. It is silent in bankruptcy, billetdoux i 
Christmas, currant, eclat, gout, hautboy, mortgage, and in the first sylla- 
ble of chestnut. 

TIL — Th has a sharp dental sound, as in think ; a flat dental sound, as in 
them. The h is silent in asthma, isthmus, phthisick, phthisical, Thames, 
Thomas, thyme. 

V. — V always has its pure labial sound, which is flat/. It is silent in 
sevennight. 

W consonant. — W when a consonant has a sound nearly like oo; w before 
h is pronounced as if it were written after it, as in whale, pronounced hwale. 
It is always silent before r, as in wrap, and in whole, tcho, ichom, zchose, 
whoop, stcord, answer, toward, two. 

X. — X has a sharp sound like ks when it ends a syllable with the accent 
on it, either primary or secondary, as in exercise, exhibition, or when the 
accent is on the next syllable if it begin with a consonant, as in extreme ; a 
flat sound like gz when followed by~an accented syllable beginning with a 
vowel, or with /;, as in exert, exhale, <kc, except in compound words, in 
which the primitive ends in x, as relaxation, taxation, vexation, &c, to 
, which we may add the simples in our language, doxology and proximity ; 
the sound of z at the beginning of words, lis m Xenophon, Xerxes, and at 
the end of the words beaux and flambeaux. It is silent in billetdoux. 

Y consonant. — Y when a consonant has a sound nearly like ee, as in youth. 

Z. — Z has generally its hissing dental sound, as in zeal; the sound of zh 
when preceded by a vowel and the accent, and is followed by ie or long u, as 
in glazier, azure. It is silent in rendezvous. 

OF ACCENT. 

Primary Accent. 

Primary Accent is a forcible stress of voice on a syllable by which we 
sound it more loudly and distinctly than we do the other syllables in the same 
word, as in' dustry. 

Secondary Accent. 

Secondary Accent is a less forcible stress cf voice which we frequently place 
on another syllable besides that which has the Primary Accent, in words of 
three or more syllables, in order to pronounce it more distinctly and forcibly 
than we do the unaccented syllables, that every part of the word may be pro- 
nounced more harmoniously, as in' dus Hry, y ed-i-to' ri x al, &c. 

It is of the utmost importance that the secondary accent be properly placed : 
this is fixed with as much certainty as the place of the principal accent itself; 
and a wrong position of one would as much derange the sound of the word, as 
a wrong position of the other. As a character has been introduced in this 
work to direct in its application, it is to be hoped that its use and importance 
will be more fully regarded. 

SYLLABICATION. 

Dividing words into syllables is a very different operation, according to the 
different ends proposed by it. The object of syllabication may be, either to 
enable children to discover the sound of words with which they are acquainted, 
or to show the etymology of a word, or to exhibit the exact pronunciation of it. 

But an etymological division of words is a different operation; it is the 
division of a person acquainted with the whole word, and who wishes to con- 
vey by this division, a knowledge of its constituent parts, as ortho-graphy, 
the-ology, &c. . . 

In the same manner, a person, who is pre-acquainted with the whole corm 
pound sound of a word, and wants to convey the sound of each part to one 
acquainted with it, must divide it into such partial sounds as, when put together 



OF PRONUNCIATION. 11 

again, will exactly form the whole, as or-thog-ra-phy, the-ol-o-gy, <fcc. This is 
the method adopted by those who would convey the whole sound, by giving 
distinctly every part ; and, when this is the object of syllabication, Dr. Lowth's 
rule is certainly to be followed. "The best and easiest rule for dividing the 
syllables in spelling, is, to divide them as they are naturally divided in a right 
pronunciation, without regard to the derivation of words, or the possible com- 
bination of consonants, at the beginning of a syllable." 

As far as practicable the preceding general rule has been adopted, in the 
application of the following particular 

RULES. 

I. A single consonant between two vowels must be joined to the latter sylla- 
ble, if the preceding vowel be pronounced long, as basin, ci-gar. But if the 
preceding vowel be short, it must be joined to the preceding syllable, as fag- 
ot, col-ick, rib-and. Exceptions. When g is sounded like j, and c or Z'like 
sh, at the end of a syllable in the pronunciation, they should' be joined to the 
latter syllable, as ma-gick, pre-cious, addi-tion. 

II. When two consonants come between two vowels, if the preceding vowel

ft single consonant preceded by a single vowH, double that consonant, when 
they take another syllable beginning with a vowel, as run, running, admit,
